Chapter 128: Chapter 116 Plotting (Two in One)

High-end medicinal ingredients often require the most simple ways of consumption.

Initially, Xu Yuan was worried that Tianyan would play a trick on him by swallowing without chewing, using prime energy to wrap around the Enchantress Divine Flower, but Old Man Luo directly told him that the Enchantress Divine Flower melts upon entering the mouth.

He also took the opportunity to enlighten him that the Joyful Powder could incapacitate a Saint invisibly and tastelessly because of the medicinal strength of the Enchantress Divine Flower, its main ingredient.

However, used alone, the Enchantress Divine Flower has no aphrodisiac effect; it merely causes long periods of hallucination. To create the Joyful Powder, additional ingredients, like the Spiritual Liquid, need to be mixed in.

After eating the Enchantress Divine Flower, Tianyan immediately sent a message to Xu Yuan:

"Xu... Changtian, I’ve... I’ve already eaten it."

Xu Yuan replied with a message: "I saw, don’t fight back just yet, wait for my message."

"Wha... What?! She’s... ha... this madwoman is a Mortal Transcendence! If I... if I don’t fight back..."

"Good, just listen."

"..."

The girl’s flat chest heaved with rage.

After a moment, she finally spat out:

"If I die, I’ll definitely drag you down with me."

"Don’t worry, I’m not interested in dying for love with a little thing like you," Xu Yuan said cheerily.

"#!" Tianyan cursed.

Having said that, Xu Yuan stopped paying attention to Tianyan and immediately sped towards the back of the woman in red, according to the plan.

As he flew, Xu Yuan inquired within himself:

"Hey, Old Man Luo, does Tianyan really have a way to take me down with her?"

"Not dying for love?" The Saint’s Remnant Soul interjected unexpectedly.

"Seems you’re really not afraid of dying, cracking jokes at a time like this," Xu Yuan replied with a laugh.

The Saint’s Remnant Soul huffed lightly:

"The probability isn’t high."

"So that means she might really be able to take me down with her?" Xu Yuan frowned.

The Saint’s Remnant Soul sighed: "The Yantian Art is powerful and arcane, I only know two of its Chapters, Zhen Yan and Tianyan, I have no idea what kind of power the other two Chapters possess, but it’s unlikely she can threaten you in her current state."

Asking was the same as not asking.

This grandpa tagging along was truly unreliable.

Xu Yuan glanced in Tianyan’s direction.

After their conversation, Tianyan obediently stopped her offensive and instead used a series of protective Zhen Yan like "Fortify," "Shield," "Spirit Condensation" to desperately hold on under the madwoman’s ghost-like, tidal onslaught.

Fortunately for Tianyan, with no threat looming, the madwoman stopped her flighty movements and stood quietly in the void, muttering insane words as she watched Tianyan.

As Xu Yuan was about to reach within ten yards of the madwoman, the Saint’s Remnant Soul suddenly spoke up again:

"Xu lad... are you really sure this crazy woman won’t attack you?"

"..."

Xu Yuan’s temple twitched.

He knew Old Man Luo feared death, but not to such an extent.

However, at this moment he could understand the Old Man’s concerns.

After all, what they were about to do was indeed very dangerous.

To launch a surprise attack on this madwoman right before her eyes.

Forget the Old Man, even Xu Yuan himself wasn’t confident.

Inside Cang Yuan, after obtaining the cherry blossom mark near the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree, the woman in red would become like a neutral NPC; so long as you’re careful not to attack her, you could jump around and have fun beside her without consequence.

In other words, the cherry blossom mark offered players an opportunity to ambush this BOSS.

Xu Yuan had done this before, and with one strike, he took away one-fifth of the BOSS’s health. Now, transformed into reality, if he hit a vital spot, it might be more than just a fifth.

But likewise, with so many variables in reality, who could guarantee there wouldn’t be accidents?

Xu Yuan pondered briefly before replying softly:

"Just go ahead with the plan, I have learned the sword technique you taught me in Jingjiang Prefecture, and with the addition of your Soul Power, I should be able to teleport away instantly."

After a pause, Xu Yuan glanced at Tianyan, who was struggling hard:

"Tianyan has already eaten the Enchantress Divine Flower, and with half an hour’s countdown, she will definitely be desperate. If it comes to it, we can just sell out Tianyan and make a run for it."

The Saint’s Remnant Soul was silent for a moment, then sighed softly:

"Sigh... I never took such risks even when I was with my other disciples...."

"Enough talk, let’s get on with it."

As they spoke, the two were already in front of the woman in red.

The woman in red glanced at Xu Yuan but paid him no mind.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan immediately drew out the Qingyu Sword, took his stance, and at the same time, the Saint’s Remnant Soul began to cast a powerful spell right in front of her....

...

...

Ran Qingmo, who was controlling the Sky-Peering Formation, saw this scene below and silently withdrew her will-spirit from the Sky Peering Formation.

She found herself in a rather dark secret chamber, its entirety nearly covered with intertwined roots, with only a faint light seeping through from the end of the passage.

The woman in black, as dark as ink, slowly rose to her feet and began walking along the root-entwined passage toward the outside world.

As she walked, she drew a black-bladed sword.

Her pace was steady, for she needed to concentrate her energy.

The passage was long but very straight.

As she made her way, the blue gleam on the black sword she held had become dazzlingly bright.

The end of the passage was bathed in the splendid sunlight of the outside world, like a gate of light.

In the silence, Ran Qingmo stepped into the light.

A scene of pavilions and terraces by a lake came into view, none other than the dilapidated Sakura Leech Lake.

The collapsed crimson galleries upon the lake’s surface and the pockmarked lake water, which was turned muddy by the green blood flowing from the leech carcasses, were once clear.
